"AI missing EPs." Topic

I wonder if they will do that?

They could use existing footage and telesnaps and other photos, then recreate the show to some level of authenticity.

Probably as bad as the CGI, in some ways.

I always thought it would be best to just reedit existing footage, swap the backgrounds and such where appropriate. Maybe alter the mouths for dialogue.

Would look 100% compared to the CGI.

Where's there's a profit, there's a way.

Well, they couldn't do any worse than what they put out now (and it'd probably be cheaper… ;-)

It would be interesting
Maybe there are rights issues to using an actor's likeness in AI that dont apply to the animations? I dont know.

While the animations so far arent exactly state of the art it at least gives us a glimpse of how the lost stories looked.

Thank heavens at least the soundtracks survived to provide a basis.

I'm convinced there would be a way of working from the original tapes.

Much like they were able to colourise from black and white telecene(?).

There must/may be some portion of the tape that doesn't magnitse correctly each time.

Experts said no, but has anyone actually tried?

For example governments/companies like recording off old tapes to "preserve them" digitally.

However, they just use a video player to do so, saving the machines output.

I would think saving raw tape "data" directly from the head, prior to any manipulation by a decades old device would be more logical.

Then in years to come a cyber player could be created to create a higher quality out put.

But no. We are being left with "old video" preserved recordings.

By getting"raw data" a future cyber player could perhaps detect previous recordings, to whatever degree.
